THE NEW NORTHWEST, THUBSDAY, MARCH 10, 1881
LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
' Kobd, Cat, February 23, 1881."
jTo TBI Eortos or tb Ksw JTobtbwbvt "
In this age of new thought and progressiye
Jieaa, It must be quite surprising to many that
California la almost the only Stats In ths Union
sjfeere Woman Buffrags receives llttls attention.
While the. national work Is progressing grandly.
, Tbe fault iaysundoubtedly with the press of this
tate, which fall to instruct their readers In ths
principles of Justice, While Congress and the
YTblte House are open for the reception of Its ad
vocates, and whlls our sister State, Oregon, is ad
vancing steadily to solve the great problem of at
least one part of universal liberty," California, to
the great regret of those who would like to see
women, placed in a state where they could do the
- jaost good, remains dormant, r 'V ' " v " ' ' "
African slavery wal one of the great hindrances
-to the fulfillment olBt-mlsBion to establish unl
versal liberty; bui that; fortunately, was over
thrown, although at an. immense sacrifice and
Terr jiarrowxscape of oux .national AJJeXfiJKSi
f till have a system of slavery and bondage hang
ing over us which .we also must overthrow. We
must solve this great question of human equality,
oo, or we will yet be where Greece and Home are
now, and contribute our share to that great heap
Of ruins, the driftwood and debris of defuact
nations and empires, now scattered all along
down the great highway of history. Women, by
be Constitution, are citizens, and it follows then
lhat fully one-half of our American citizens have
no political status. As long as this remains the
Case, the great problem of our national existence
If only half-solved, and the end of our mission
inly half-attained. k
Modern" science has taught us that there Is no
jeCect without its appropriate cause. This being
axiomatic, it behooves us to dig deep and search
Close for the cause that can produce so great an
cfTect as the downfall and ruin of a republic king
dom or empire. There are two great elements
Pervading the realms of Nature-the positive and
the negative,the male'andthe"femalerAn
things that would live, even governments, must
have these two elements united within them. - In
the union of these twojelements there is life j In
their separation there is death.
4i3jet no man put asunder what God hath Joined
together." . A government of men one in which
woman has no political voice, no vote, no status
.frill and must, according to the eternal fitness of
things, go to the doga, I affirm In the light of
jtll history, that this was : the- great cause that
wrecked so many nationsand disrupted so many
empires. Our, best statesmen and political econo
mists declare that signs and symptoms of our po
litical death and decay as a nation are" already be
coming so very apparent that even men of the
most ordinary capacity cannot help but discern
them. Our American manhood, too, It rotting
down. -Th destroying Influence of liquors and
(more than anything else) the great sexual intem
perance Of men are fast doing the Job for us. The
saloon and; the spittoon are the Devil's right
And left bowers true Indices of man's drunken
. ness and na tineas. , '
" Ottfwhtll'wiH men Tearn to purify their bodies
and live clean and inspired lives ?v We need a
rTellglon It Is absolutely the .world's'great'desld
eratum a religion which shall make the salva
tion of the body the great central Idea, instead of
the soul. True morality is physiological instead
of theological - -- ; -irV".
The salvation of our country demands that we
have some new element of life and vitality in
fused into our great political systemand thaf It
be done immedlatelyrBut there is in existence
DO unappropriated Influence that can be brought
in, .except Jhe f em In! neelementEvery thing
else has alrea4y-4teea. brought-ln.juid used up.
The chains of woman's slavery, which have held
her down through so long a lapse of ages, must
now be broken. 8he must have a voice In mak
ing those laws to which she is held amenable
equally with man.- The feminine element has
that redemption in it which we must have.
Woman alone is pure, temperate and moral. - Our
politics must be purified, or we will soon be called
upon to assist In singing our death requiem thus :
Fassweii, vaia world we're going boms
Ws die Just like old Greece and ltome " -Our
polity bu rot our thrdht . ;
Vf would sot let the women vote.
